    it doesn't take much to get in shanahan's doghouse...it wasn't because he was injured, it wasn't b/c he didn't know the offense...you people have to read between the lines here.

    Overrated........ word hes the best qb with payton manning. well has beenhe might not have the blusterous stats but for years he was amogn the best imo.. and he has that Xfactor that Manning doest havent.. wtih Manning to me he has been the best,... and has did it with less since forever... I never seen a elit Qb treated with little to know disrespect as much has he has.. .. This wouldnt happen to Favre, Manning,Brady ? or even eli manning you tell me what it is

    Like i said before.. listen to how they talk about Us and them at quartberback.. there is a glaring difference generally

    The QBs you mentioned are all better than McNabb and have actually won Superbowls and have proven to be more clutch imo.. U Ranking him among the best where I feel the overrated factor comes in... Hes not a great nor was he ever elite to me.... Brees, Rivers, Rothelisberger, Aaron Rodgers and even Tony Romo are also better and If I had a pick with Joe Flacco and Matt Ryan vs Mcnabb Im taking Flacco and Ryan over Donovan with no hesitation... Hes overrated period.... Hes not anywhere near Peyton or Brady Level smh @ that ? ....

    Maybe not in this thread but some of the reaction is a "QB of his caliber" type ? ... imo is laughable... The main reason he was benched was hes not playing well at all this season... now I dont agree with benching him with 2 min left in the game but lets not act like hes been playing at a high level when he never really has for the majority of his career imo.

    Feelings caught... obviously you dont watch football if you think hes on any level of Peyton or Tom Brady thanks for proving my point... dude is overrated. Regardless of the team around him he still hasnt played well at all this season....If Sam Bradford a rookie and Josh Freeman a 2nd year player can perform better than Mcnabb with comparable talent then what does that tell you about Mcnabb this season????

    Maybe coach felt he was getting too complacent and wanted to show that not even the qb job is safe. He knew they wouldn't come back so he wanted to see how Donavan reacted during and after the game.

    No he never had great seasons aside from 1... just a bunch of decent ones hes always been way too inconsistent with his performances aside from the year they made the Superbowl he never has put a season where he was truly great/eltite from start to finish the truly elite QB's has done so.. I felt there Defense and a healthy Prime Brian Westbrook were just as vital in most case more so for Philly success...

    His ? supporting cast had nothing to do with his "only decent" numbers?.....and you talk about philly's defense being vital.....what super bowl runs has bradey made since his defense went to ? ?

    If we are going to hold this season against McNabb and take him out of consideration for greatness, then Rivers gotta go too because the Chargers are sucking.

    Brees was not terrible at any point in his career. Quit making stuff up.

    Making ? up?....? I remember when first got drafted out of purdue....dude was terrible like the first five seasons.....and then the year they drafted phillip rivers he had a pro bowl breakout year......and that year his contract was up so they hit him with the franchise tag.....played one more season had the shoulder injury and then went to new orleans because if you remember correctly....miami could have had him first but they passed on him for duante culpepper

    The year he seperated his shoulder he had a better season than the Pro Bowl year the prior season... the team was not as good. Truthfully he did have 2 bad seasons in SD his rookie year and his 3rd season... He had 2 great years in SD and 1 Decent one to say he was terrible the whole 5 years is an outright lie...

    Year Team G Att Comp Pct Att/G Yds Avg Yds/G TD TD% Int Int% Lng 20+ 40+ Sck SckY Rate
    2005 San Diego Chargers 16 500 323 64.6 31.2 3,576 7.2 223.5 24 4.8 15 3.0 54 46 4 27 223 89.2

    2004 San Diego Chargers 15 400 262 65.5 26.7 3,159 7.9 210.6 27 6.8 7 1.8 79T 40 9 18 131 104.8

    2003 San Diego Chargers 11 356 205 57.6 32.4 2,108 5.9 191.6 11 3.1 15 4.2 68T 28 5 21 178 67.5

    2002 San Diego Chargers 16 526 320 60.8 32.9 3,284 6.2 205.2 17 3.2 16 3.0 52T 40 4 24 180 76.9

    Those are Brees' numbers for the time he was in SD. He only played 1 game the first year, and it was a good showing. His second season was mediocre. His third season was the only one that could be considered terrible and even it wasn't that bad when compared to some of the QBs in the league now. His fourth season was one of his best seasons ever. He fifth was a pretty good season and is consistent with what you saw from Peyton and Brady in their first five seasons. So again, quit making ? up. Dude was never terrible. And Miami passed on him because they didn't trust that his arm would ever recover from that surgery.

    Benching McNabb was irritating and a stupid move...

    SMH @ Grossman being able to out run Suh and that Detroit Defensive line...

    The Shanahan's need to be called out for the ridiculous moves the are making an plays they are calling..

    Kyle Shanahan sucks as a play caller...point blank... why are we throwing the ball with 4 minutes left on the clock?? Why not run the ball and turn the game over to the Defense to win the game? Why is McNabb doing 5 step drops the second week in a row against a dominate pass rush??

    Redskins still suck, nothing has changed, well in a way things have changed, Shanahan has instilled mind games in a team that sucks...

    smh....that was a winable game too..

    Since Rivers became a full time Starter in 2006 Rivers has surpassed McNabb in nearly every statistical catergory (More Passing Yards, More Passing TD's, Better Completiton Percentage and QB Rating) and has more Regular Season Wins and a better Win Percentage... as for Playoffs Mcnabb is 2-2 in that span Rivers is 3-4.... so barring Injury or total collapse of skill Rivers totally logical to say Rivers is better than Mcnabb and most likely will be better than Mcnabb when Rivers Career is done...

    Huh? This argument makes no sense. Rivers in his prime is better than McNabb in the twilight of his career, so Rivers will be better than McNabb? How does that work?
